#3: Work Hard
I feel like I have an unusually high number of friends who are teachers, so I see what their lives are like day to day and season to season. So this next confession does not surprise me at all. Yes, being a teacher means that you don’t have to work for a couple of months in the summer. No, that’s not as great as it sounds.
I think teachers are an extraordinary group of people who get paid very little to do an incredibly thankless job. The only thing that could tempt me to consider it would be getting the summers off, and even then, it’s not like you really get a lot of time off, since you have to start prepping for the next year before long.
